Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and Midi Adapt

I have an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook I want to coonect my Roland JX3P Midi Keyboard that i want to connect to my sound card but the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook doesn't have any midi connections does anybody know of a Creative product or a 3rd party USB device that will allow me to hook up my Roland keyboard to my laptop.
Thanks

? A soundfont cannot contain alle drumkits, and it is not nessecary at all. I dont know a soundfont bank wich contains a complete set of drumkits, too. There are only some soundfonts like the crysis soundfont (to big for its "bad" quality) wich have some dummy-drumkits/ entrys or slightly modified sounds for each than usual. If all drumnkits would be stored in high-quality, the soundfont would be huge... Every synth i know uses the standard drumkit, if the chosen one is not existent. This is not optimal, but it will guarantee, that the the MIDI file or Program/ game will work. The KXDrivers wont do this. SO they are not useable for General MIDI. Only for MIDIs and soundfonts fitting together. But thats not the point of General MIDI. CMSS isnt working with these drivers, too. Dolby decoding/ encoding isnt possible with them, either. These drivers are not bad, but if you want a completely working card, KXdrivers are worthless.

  • Basic question from a neophyte re Audigy 2 ZS notebook and speak

    I just purchased a new notebook, my first. I included an Audigy 2 ZS with the order because the sales person?led me to believe?that I could get superior sound from the notebook when I plugged a couple of external speakers to the card. I thought I would eventually run down to Fry's and get a couple of speakers. I finally got around to opening the Audigy package and installing the software and drivers. The sound through the accompanying earpieces is great, but when I read the minimal documentation regarding how to hook up speakers, I came to the sinking realization that I didn't really know what the heck I had purchased. It appears, at least from the Quick Start diagrams, that you can't just plug a couple of speakers into the card and, wholla!, have this great sound. You have to plug the card into an?powered ?sound system or home theater in order to enjoy external speakers. After all that, I guess my question is this. Is there a set of small speakers of some kind that you can plug directly into the 2 ZS?I wanted portability, something I could travel with. ?I have looked over the diagrams and Knowledge Base speaker stuff and it doesn't even cover such an approach. Thanks for any enlightenment you might be able to provide this confused newbie.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and a stupid, stupid frie

    A couple of days ago a friend of mine decided to press the PCMCIA card eject button. I told him not to do this, but he's an idiot. So he presses it, and the card pops out. After this, my laptop freezes, and I have to do a "hard" shutdown. I boot it back up, and now the speakers no longer work with the Audigy. If I shut the computer down then start it up without the card in a PCMCIA slot, the speakers work fine, except with the less-than-stellar sound quality. When I use the HPJ (Headphone jack) in the card, the headphones work fine. Now, this isn't any great inconvenience for me, but I would like to resolve it, because I don't enjoy having to use my headphones when I want to listen my music. And not using the card with my speakers isn't an option. It sounds like crap without it.
    Any help it greatly appreciated.

    OK, thank you for the information. More than likely something has gone wrong with your Windows registry. Rather than delve into that, I would suggest that you go back into Device Manager, and 'Uninstall' you 'On Board' sound card, and reboot your machine. While the notebook is off, remove the PCMCIA card, and this will force the OS to reinstall the on board sound into Device Manager and hopefully the registry as well. Once this is done, you should see a return of your on board sound card's functions and be able to hear you on board speakers.
    Please note, that it may take a secondary boot prior to hearing your on board sound card kick in. Simply 'Uninstall' the on board sound (and have the 'Drivers and Applications' CD/DVD from your notebook at hand... and the OS installation disc too), reboot then when the system logs back on it should reinstall the on board sound. It may ask you for the drivers CD/DVD and the OS CD/DVD during this process. That is why I suggested that you have it there when you start. Once this is complete, you should reboot and when your system comes back up you should have sound in your notebook's speakers.
    If not, leave a message. There is one instance, I can think of, where you would successfully reinstall the on board sound (and it's system registry entries) and the sound NOT come from your speakers.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook MIDI playback problem

    Hi guys, I have a following problem. I recently obtained PCMCIA SB Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. I'm running it on an older DELL Inspiron 5160, Win XP (latest possible service pack and drivers), P4 3.0GHz, 2 Gigs of RAM (max). Onboard audio SigmaTel is disabled.
    I had no problem installing driver from Creative CD, playback and recording works fine. I can even play midi files in Windows Media Player. I knew I had to install drivers from CD in order to be able to use soundfonts, latest drivers do not support that.
    There is the only problem - when I try to use the software keyboard in the Bank Manager, where I loaded up my sf2 banks, it does not make a sound. For writing midi songs, I used to use old MidiSession program. I can't hear anything there either. Strange thing is, when I play any midi file in the Widows Media Player - at the exact same time, both things mentioned above work, keyboard or MidiSession. I have no idea why that is. I tried to uninstall and reinstall Creative drivers and software, nothing. Since I can't update to a newer driver, I'm at loss here.
    I used to have the same setup on my desktop (except the PCMCIA version) and all worked just fine.
    Does anyone has any idea what could be causing this? Thanks.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook- Popping and Beeping probl

    Hey all, I installed my Audigy 2 zs notebook card today and it seems to work fine except that when using with any media player (have tried Winamp, WMP, mediasource player), i get a horrible beeping/hissing/popping sound at the beggining of most songs and it has frozen my player a few times. Most of the time if I suffer through it and let it play, the noises will cease even when it moves to the next song on it's own, but if i skip tracks, the noise appears again. I am absolutley positi've it is not an issue with my sound files or player programs, as they have all worked perfectly in the past. this is kind of an odd problem and i'm just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Thanks.

  • Audigy 2 Z2 Notebook PCMCIA Card cannot install Creative Mediasource 5

    . Every time I try and install CMS5 on the Audigy 2 Z2 Notebook PCMCIA Card, I keep getting this ERROR:

    I have re-installed, all creative drivers, I even clean installed them, and i still get this error, any ideas?
    EDIT: I fixed the problem, you have to install the older CMS5 before the latest new driver will work............well duh!

    Thank you for the reply split0,
    as for the informati've post, thank you for the compliment, i tend to not open a thread at all unless i have spent enough time on the problem and searched around enough for solutions, and after that i only post if it has enough info regarding everything in inside the thread.
    In regard to the known incompatibility list, unfortunatly this is one of the things i checked beforehand already.
    The PCMCIA adapter in my laptop is a Texas Instruments PCI-8x2/7x2/6x2 CardBus-controller.
    Which is one of the most common controllers and should normally not cause any troubles at all, also in another thread on this forum i found a differant driver for it, i even tried that with no result sadly.
    At the moment personally i am thinking the whole problem lies within not being able to uninstall the onboard sound card to full extent somehow, and while i posted here i also have all this info in a direct message sent to creative, and even acer for that matter.
    In hopes of some kind of solution for this so i can keep my hopes up for not having to return the card itself.
    What bugs me is that there is option at all to disable the onboard sound through the bios.
    Because right now whenever i install the ZS notebook card it checks hardware for the onboard first installing it again, then setting priority for the zs notebook.
    This is what seems to result in the crashes through a conflict in drivers in my idea, but thats just a hunch which i cant do anything about currently in regard to testing unless someone has an idea for me to try.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook doesn't have enough resoucres in vi

    Ok, I have an audigy 2 zs pcmcia and vista 32-bit, and the sound card can't get enough resources (Code 2 in device mgr). I also know that others on this forum concluded that the problem has nothing to do with creative or the vista drivers, but the problem is due to the computer's cardbus/pcmcia adapter.
    However, my adapter is a "Texas Instruments PCI 7x20/6x20" and its driver is up-to-date, according to Windows Update, and my manufacturer (they do not have an update on the support page for my notebook , Sony VGN-FJ70).
    So this is a final call to anyone. How does Vista handle system resources differently than XP? Or is there a registry edit that will make the cardbus give the sound card resources. Or does somebody know anything about the TI cardbus driver, or know of a older driver that will work (and where to find it, b/c I've already looked).
    BTW, I can't change anything in BIOS because sony has dumbed it down like I've never seen in any computer ever. I can pretty much change the clock and boot order, that's about it.

    I tried uninstalling, reinstalling drivers, wiggling the card, jumping on my desk, etc. No luck.
    Win XP Pro (latest service packs) , Dell Inspiron 8600...
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Audigy 2 zs notebook - no soundfont

    # Hi,
    I have Windows XP SP2 (also tried SP3 and Windows 7 with the same result).
    When I install the original Audigy 2 ZS Notebook CD, soundfont playback (using the Soundfont Bank Manager) has terrible latency, probably 250 mSec or so. After I update drivers and applications using Creative's Autoupdate, I get no soundfont sound at all.
    After the update, the Bank Manager showed no soundfonts loaded, so I tried reloading the soundfonts that were originally installed (CT2MGM.SF2, CT4MGM.SF2 and CT8MGM.SF2) - still no sound.
    Additionally, I've downloaded Vienna 2.4 and starting it up gives me the error:
    Sound font editing capability is currently being used by another application.
    Quit the other application and try again.
    This is a fresh XP Home installation with SP2 installed.
    The the original Audigy CD, then Creative's updates.
    help!

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook boot iss

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card that I have been using for my laptop for a while now. It works perfectly and I really love it. I got a desktop recently and wanted to use my Audigy in it, so I bought a PCMCIA to PCI adapter so that I could put my Audigy into the desktop. I'm having issues with booting up my computer while the Audigy is inserted into the slot, however. The computer freezes during the "welcome" screen (Windows XP) and I have to reboot and remove the card for it to boot properly. When I put the card in after the desktop is fired up, it works fine.
    Is there a way to boot up my desktop without having to remove the Audigy every time?

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook & DJing---preview a trac

    I use my Audigy 2 ZS Notebook to DJ using Traktor 3. It has an option to Cue/Preview a track while anohter?is playing. Their tech support said - You need a multi-output soundcard to take advantage of Traktor's cue function.
    Example: With a four output soundcard, set the main outs of Traktor to and 2, and the monitors to 3 and 4. In your software utility (almost all multioutput cards have these) set the headphones to monitor 3 and 4.
    With this setup, hitting cue will play what is not in the main mix through your headphones. Is there a way to configure the card so channels &2 output to the speakers while 3&4 go to a monitor? I use the included cable that has the 3 colored connectors.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Notebook/ Creative Soundfont Synth

    .Audigy 2 ZS Notebook/ Creative Soundfont Synth; Hi there, if have a problem with this card. I solved it in some way, but maybe someone has got a hint for me. The problem: Creative Soundfont Synth only works with the original driver cd installation. The only working driver update, wich leaves the Creative soundfont Synth functional, ist the one available via Windows Update (Windows XP). If im using autoupdate from creative, and a newer driver like the 2_0_06 or the 2_8_00 is installed, the creative soundfont synth is dead. No way to get it to work. (DXDIAG shows errormessages while testing, Synth cannot be initialised) I reinstalled the driver manually, i tryed to uninstall it, so many options i've tryed: no way! So i gave up, and now im staying with the latest drivers from windows update. The card is working fine, so its Ok for now. Is there someone else with the same problem? Question: Do someone know why the hardware synth on this card is disabled? Why is this sofware synth necessary? The card is a EMU0K2, so it has the Hardware Synth available theoeretically.

  • Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook install probl

    Lets start off with the system owned:
    Acer Aspire 9920G, Windows Vista Home Premium x86 32bit, Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7500 (2.2GHz/FSB: 800MHz/4MB L2 cache), 4GB DDR II RAM (2x 2GB), 2x 250GB (5400rpm S-ATA), NVIDIA GeForce 8600M-GT 280MB TC.
    With a realtek onboard HD soundcard.
    Now here's the problem:
    I purchased the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook last monday, went home and read the instructions.
    I made sure to disable and uninstall the onboard card before hand and then pushed the card into the PCMCIA slot and press cancel on the automatic driver search vista gives me, afterwards starting the installation of the vista drivers that i downloaded seeing a small sticker on the box notified me that the installation cd would only work on XP.
    Mind you, this is on a clean install, i reinstalled the whole system in the weekend and made a full backup that can be put back in less then 40 minutes in case something would go wrong.
    Anyway, next thing i know after starting the install the system freezes entirely at the point where the installation says: "Updating windows drivers".
    Hard reboot is the following action ofcourse, system freezes up and refuses to boot only giving me all the nifty blue lights and a black screen.
    I pull out the zs notebook and reboot, works fine, however the second i push in the zs notebook the whole system freezes and i have to pull the plug yet again to force it to reboot.
    Only action left is putting the backup back and everything works fine again and now i can actually push in the zs notebook card again without the system crashing.
    I have tried multiple things after that reinstall so far with multiple results:
    - Installing the drivers listed for vista in the drivers section: install freezes, have to reset by cutting the power, but i can reboot with the card still in the laptop, however its not installed at all nor are any programs installed.
    - Installing with daniel's drivers: install freezes, cut power to reset and laptop refuses to boot with the zs notebook card in the slot and when in windows the card is pushed in the laptop freezes up yet again.
    - Installing either of both drivers in safe mode results in a normal correct install: no freezing or crashing however the second i boot up in normal mode the laptop freezes before loading windows and the power has to be cut yet again.
    So far every time this is fixed by using the recovery backup i made to have everything to normal again.
    Probable cause that i was able to find:
    If i install in safe mode the onboard sound card doesnt get loaded at all, then the installation of the zs notebook runs correctly.
    However, in normal mode even if i disable and uninstall the drivers for the onboard card when the install runs it triesto install both the "Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM)" drivers for the audigy zs notebook, but it also tries to reinstall the realtek onboard, and i have no clue how to get rid of that since there is no option to disable the onboard soundcard through the bios at all.
    Either way, the only time the laptop actually freezes is when the "Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM)" gets installed.
    If that process doesnt manage to install itself the system doesnt crash, but doesnt see the ZS notebook card either.
    Any ideas of random throughts that might help me solve this problem
    Also, sorry for the long post, but i tried to make everything as complete and detailed as possible because i really want this fixed seeing i own both an older 5. creative sound set and a logitech z5500 with THX and would like to be able to run both on my laptop when i am at home.
    Either way if i end up not being able to fix this i might end up swapping in the audigy 2 zs notebook for the x-fi xtreme audio notebook, problem there is though that it does not have THX and that i'll aslo have to seperatly buy the docking cable.
    With regards,
    Natharneal.

Only for MIDIs and soundfonts fitting together. But thats not the point of General MIDI. CMSS isnt working with these drivers, too. Dolby decoding/ encoding isnt possible with them, either. These drivers are not bad, but if you want a completely working card, KXdrivers are worthless.
